Problems with C# .NET client using external PHP SOAP web service which returns hash arrays -

I'm one. I am writing NET web application, which needs to call external server service. I have been provided with the documentation, in which PHP examples are included in the code.

I can successfully create a web reference in VS2010 which is the WSDL address I provided, and by using Fidler I can see that the expected XML is being sent and received. However, there is a problem parsing the returned XML.

I only accept an array of user names and it is used to revert some of the users' nested hash array (with each user) to its array name, type, etc. field) and errors An array (for any usernames that do not match). I would say it in 'PHP-ish':

  array ('users' => array (array ('id' => 11, 'username' = & gt; 'Mike', 'first name' = & gt; 'mick', 'last name' = & gt; 'bayern'), ...) 'errors' => array (array ('username' = & gt; ; 'Whatever', 'error code' = & gt; 'NOSUCHUSER')))   
 I'm getting SOAP XML that will be analogous to this. However, when .NET tries to convert it into a result, it throws an exception:  
  type can not specify the object of the System.Xml.XmlNode [] type of an object System.String   
 Interestingly, the method used by NAT for me based on WSDL says that it gives a plain old  string  which states that it The WSDL defines the return type as it can not.  
 Full WSDL is available here:  
  
 Here is a sample of XML received and sent from the basic names:  
  & lt ;? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? & Gt; & Lt; Soap: Envelope xmlns: Soap = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns: soapenc = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns: TNS = "http: //www.elearning.psychology.org.au/webservice/soap/server.php?wstoken=dc45858adb6f28b7feae87014d46d9b3 "xmlns: type =" http://www.elearning.psychology.org.au/webservice/soap/server .php Wstoken = dc45858adb6f28b7feae87014d46d9b3 / encodedTypes "xmlns: xsi =" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance "xmlns: XSD =" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema "& gt; & Lt; Soap: body soap: encoding style = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" & gt; & Lt; TNS: netspot_user_get_users_by_username & gt; & Lt; Username = "# id1" /> & Lt; / TNS: netspot_user_get_users_by_username & gt; & Lt; Soapenc: array id = "id1" soapnake: array type = "xsd: string [1]" & gt; & Lt; Item & gt; 557788 & lt; / Item & gt; & Lt; / Soapenc: array & gt; & Lt; / Soap: Body & gt; & Lt; / Soap: Envelope & gt;
